Physics - IIT Ropar

Our new program, B.Tech. in Engineering Physics - IIT Ropar has been covered by media. See the snips here.

Indian Institute of Technology Ropar is offering B. Tech. (Engineering Physics) with a blend of Physics and Electrical Engineering. ​B.Tech. in Engineering Physics ​jointly offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Physics ​at​ IIT Ropar​, with its emphasis on learning to solve problems, provides an excellent ​blend of Electrical Engineering knowledge with deep Physics​ for graduate study in physics and related fields​, It is a great foundation for careers in ​​research, ​semiconductor industry, finance, ​and technology ​management​.​

​We offer two tracks to the major, ​f​lexible and ​f​ocus, each leading to a ​B. Tech. in ​Engineering ​Physics​. ​

The ​Physics​ focus ​provides a series of rigorous courses in fundamental physics topics, and its options enable many of our students to complete​ minors in other disciplines.
Students ​can​ take a greater number of specific courses​ in different departments​, including ​data science, cyber-physical systems​, AI/ML, biomedical engineering, robotics, etc.
​This UG program is highly suitable for any student planning to pursue graduate school​ with high tech industry focus​, ​and ​research beyond ​IIT Ropar​.

Highly motivated students are encouraged to join. The program is designed to offer Electrical Engineering knowledge with deep Physics to all those who are inclined towards semiconductor technology and India's new . In addition to the B. Tech. degree, the students would be able to take concentration program in or Engineering.
They would be also able to take minor courses from the Departments other than Physics and Electrical Engineering. The students after completing the program would be trained enough to work in Semiconductor Industry, Finance, other technology based research etc. in India as well abroad.

Abstract:
The first accelerator installed at TIFR, in the late '50s, was the 1MV Cockroft Walton, more popularly known as the Cascade Generator. The microwave engineering group at TIFR (now SAMEER, under the Department of Electronics), in the late '60s, ventured into radiation therapy and in the '70s into developing e-LINACs for medical applications. Driven by growing interest and the trends in heavy ion accelerator-based Nuclear Physics, the joint BARC TIFR project MEHIA was initiated to set up the Pelletron facility, in the '80s. The facility was further augmented with the superconducting LINAC, designed and built indigenously, also as a joint BARC TIFR project. The superconducting LINAC, a crucial sub-system of the Pelletron LINAC facility (PLF), has completed 20 years of very successful operations. This talk will outline some of the major milestones in the development of LINAC and highlight some of the critical technologies developed during the course of implementing the
LINAC project. This major development was the first of its kind in the country and its relevance to future upcoming national projects will be presented.

About the Speaker:
Prof. R.G. Pillay joined TIFR in 1974. His research interests span many areas of physics covering Nuclear Physics, Accelerator Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Material Science. He set up the first national HPGe-based high spin spectrometer for nuclear structure studies at TIFR. He played a major role in the development of the Heavy Ion Superconducting Linac Booster at the BARC TIFR Pelletron accelerator facility in Mumbai. He is involved in a national project TinTin to search for neutrino-less double beta decay in 124Sn. He was awarded the M.M. Chugani Memorial award for 2016 and has also been awarded the
prestigious DAE BRNS Raja Ramanna Fellowship.
